title = "Influence of laser power on the deposition Ti6414V/W composite",
abstract = "The influence of laser power on the deposited of Ti6414VAV composites was investigated. The energy flow rates were varied while every single other parameter were kept at a steady. The evolving microstructure and the hardness of the composites were studied and reported in this study. The study established that the laser metal deposition process is suitable for producing acceptable bonding between a deposited zone and a substrate zone. The hardness values of the deposits varied from 377HV to 719HV. The laser power directly influences the hardness and the microstructure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilised to characterise the microstructure of the composite layer formed on the surface of the Ti6A14V substrate. The microstructure of all the composite layers delivered by the LMD procedure has upgraded properties in connection to that of the Ti6414V substrate.",
